Some interesting names/places there,Lindy,though I only ever visited a few, of those clubs!:nod:
I remember we used to go to the Marlborough before we went to the Babalou. I remember going to the Dolphin. I worked on the door of the Star & garter. I remember being in the QT on Peter st having a full blown face to face argument with the owner Peter Stockley, next night someone went to argue with him so Peter pulled a gun and shot him through the head. I remember going to Annabels, went the Grafton a couple of times. I remember coming out of Uglys one night with my mate who was on crutches and our girlfriends and we got jumped by a load of lads but apart from my girl getting hit over the head with a bottle we managed to get the better of them. I remember going to Secrets in Bootle, the Strand club, the Spectrum the Quadrantpark. I remember going to the Gaslight off Dale street for a very late one. I remember going to the Jacaranda where my mum met my dad, he was in a steel drum band and she worked behind the bar, ( shouldnt I get some sort of staff discount ). I remember all these things no problem but I cant remember where I put my driving licence lol

Was sat in the window of The Fly In The Loaf other day and was trying to rememeber the name of the club/bar that was above the wine store across the road, on the corner of Pilgrim Street. Entrance was a side door and I think there was an upstairs and possibly a downstairs to it... can anyone remember what it was called?
Chaucers, though originally it was something else.
....."O'Connor's tavern" originally!:PDT_Aliboronz_24:Quote:

But it was'nt Chaucers if there was one..
which was previously O'Connors Tavern
Chaucers was on the other side of Pilgrim Street on the opposite corner..
O'Connors Tavern later became Chaucers...
Chaucers later became Bonkers fun pub.
it closed around 2003 and became a fancy dress shop...
Next door to O'Connors/Chaucers building was Plummers..

Chinese business men would gamble the night away..

I used to play them for money when I was barred from a good few pubs around town that had pool tables..
Hi Ged,
Thanks for replying. It was deffo above, or under the wine shop on the corner, not the place you're talking about. There is a pub sign still hanging there. I was very young when i went there. It must have been around 1990, and I remember there were two levels.
Thanks, Ian
Sorry FM, my mistake, Gerard has put it right on his post above.
Yes I mentioned this earlier in this thread, it was called the QT owned by Peter Stockley on Peter st off the bottom of Hanover street. I had a stand up face to face massive row with Peter one night, next night some kid went to argue with him so Peter pulled a gun and shot the lad through the head.Quote:

THE HOTSY TOTSY YOU COULD GET IN WHEN YOU WERE 12
I remember it well. North St off Dale Street. I lived in the next street, Trueman St. That's where we used to pracky Cozzy.
When the Cotton Exchange still traded in Cotton in the early 60's I was an office boy for a firm on the ground floor-James Platt and Co. A pal of mine in the same trade worked around the corner in another building (Orwell house?) His name was Alan Freer and he was a good pal. He had started going to the Cavern club for his lunch break and one day he talked me into going with him- it was fantastic! I don't think I ever missed one lunchtime there for a whole year after the first intro.They had on most of the Liverpool groups then and some from Manchester. Saw Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas a great instrumental group,there. The Beatles, of course, with Pete Best as drummer. Gerry Marsden and the Pacemakers ( I know- we all need pacemakers today!) The Big 3, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. The Undertakers, Some great visiting acts also, like Gene Vincent, Johnny Kid and the Pirates, a US one hit wonder with a great voice was the guy who sang-Hey Baby- Bruce Channel. When the Twist became a popular dance we saw a group from the US called Pepe and the New York Twisters. I think Roy Orbison also appeared then but maybe not in the lunch hour. Great times great days and great music, now all just great memories. The strange thing is about those times- I was there almost at the birth of the famous Mersey Beat but within a year, just as the Beatles went onto record fame I gave it all up and became a dedicated Country music fan! I began to follow Hank Williams ( in retrospect ) and Hank Snow and whoever else was around in those days, Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard. The British music scene was fast changing and Country music seemed easier to keep pace with.
Givin my age away now.But the best club for entertainment was (I think anyway) The Wooky Hollow,on Belmont Road.Does anyone remember Lovelace Watkins?On the doors were Alan Webster.Jimmy and RitchieFeeny.Compere was Bobby Shack.Terry Phillips was the owner(Body-builder)Great/Happy Days had by all.Problem was the Artists were wanting more and more money,so in the end that was the death knell for many of the best clubs in the North!
Does anyone here remember the TimePiece Club in Fleet St...
Looking for Stories, Pictures, club cards, memorabilia...but mainly info on who went there - Groups, bands, artists, etc..
Les the DJ has just done a night at Leaf on Bold St....Great memories, and he's still GOT IT !!!
Cheers
D
Yes, I went there a few times and it was great because it was 10 mins up the road from our street, I could walk home - no worries about taxis. I remember Lovelace being on there but I didn't go to see him. I think my dad didQuote:

There has been quite a lot of chat here about the Timepiece -- just a matter of hunting through all the posts :PDT_Xtremez_42: I think it should be in this thread somewhere along the earlier posts.Quote:

hi ,just came across this thread while looking for any websites on 70's liverpool nightclubs
my first night out was with my cousin who was slightly older he used to go to the victoriana,
time & place ,babalou,mardi......the early 70's my "second home" was the babalou ....met many good
friends...my best mate billy p..sadly gone (r.i.p)........became good mates with alot
of dj's

at the time joyce worked on the cloakroom lenny macmillan (later of macmillians)was general manager
of the babalou & beachcomber......we all started to go the beachcomber...brian was the manager ,....
"big frank" was on the door, jessie ireland was always on the front desk ...for most of the time
mike davo (mike davison) was dj ..played all the best soul music ,became a good mate ,we often go
over to the timepiece to see les spaine ..who we got to know well...and later when he went to motown
we would go to london and see him when we would do the round of record companies for white label

late 70's......as was rightly said shazam (richie)was on the door ....knew richie well ,years before was on

matter can remember anymore.
O.M.G Worked behind the bar at the" Temple Bier Keller" when I was just a baby, thought that it would have been an easy way to make some money, was I wrong.. I didn't know a brown mixed from brown bitter to a babycham
Didn't last long in that job...
Yeah, I remember Big Frank you mentioned, also brothers Jake & Hilton, L8 Connection :) - Charlie and the others. I didn't know Edwin Dove peronally, but know of him and his sister.Quote:
